At Euxton Primrose Hill we are committed to offering more than just a day of regular lessons, and have thus chosen to become an extended school. This government initiative recommends that all schools should be aiming to meet the core offer of Extended Services which is made up of the following services and activities:
1) varied menu of activities and childcare
2) parenting support
3) community access to school facilities
4) swift and easy access to specialist and targeted services.
Access to a core offer of extended services in or through schools is intended to raise standards of pupil motivation, aspiration, achievement and behaviour, and to promote their welfare. Extended services contribute to the outcomes of the Every Child Matters agenda and a wide range of other government targets. An extended school works with the Local Authority and other partners to offer access to a range of services and activities which support and motivate children and young people to achieve their full potential. Schools do not have to provide services themselves but can work with, or signpost to, other providers.
Published in November 2008, ''Extended Services: extra support for you and your children'' provides an overview for parents.
A range of classes and activities are on offer at Euxton Primrose Hill throughout the year and through our close links with local nurseries, Lancashire Adult Learning, and the Buckshaw Children's Centre we are able to offer wrap around care provision. You can see more information about the clubs we run at school on the extra curricular activites page.
This space also contains forthcoming events that are currently available at the
